The Ohio Experiment has been on hold, in case you've noticed, of perhaps you've all stopped reading, because of the lack of posts.
In self promoting news, Brian made dean's list this semester, and is in the top 5 in his class (that's the most constructive way of saying that he is ranked No. 5!!!) Nonetheless, 5 is good.
Brisco got a haircut, but still smells occasionally.
Janet got a Wii fit, and is spending much time in the virtual world of exercise.
More posts will come soon - summer is turning out to be as busy as last semester was for both of us! Don't give up checking...please continue to read our witty, engaging and thought provoking bloggin'!

Monticello Trip
Finals concluded with a bang. Five exams over the course of two weeks was rough, but manageable (usually 8:00 a.m. – 11:30 p.m. in the library, save when I was writing an exam.) But, done, and now painstakingly waiting for grades to come in. That evening we went with a13 other friends, all classmates, to a nice dinner at Main Street Bistro in Lima – easily one of the nicest restaurants in the Lima / Findlay area, and short of driving to Columbus, one of the few places for linen tablecloths in the area, and a decent wine list. It was a nice time to celebrate the end of our first year, and for Janet and I to celebrate being able to see each other for a while.
Tuesday we left with our friend Austin, who graduated with his L.L.M. in Democratic Governance and Rule of Law from ONU. Austin and I are both great fans of Thomas Jefferson, and as a graduation gift, Janet and I took Austin on a trip to Monticello. We ended up staying in my apartment in Huntington WV, and drove on Wednesday to Charlottesville, VA. We toured the grounds, had a formal tour in the afternoon, and a more private “signature tour” at 6:30 in the evening, giving us much time in the house for discussion, questions, and allowing us more access, notably seeing the third floor and the “dome room”. We all had a great time, and recommend a visit to the estate. The gardens, the home, and the nuances therein are truly amazing.
